It’s easy — and fun — this time of year to get lost in the Hallmark version of Christmas, especially when it comes to Mary, Joseph and the baby. But when you think more about it, you realize that “born in a manger” was really a pretty tough place to be, and Mary, the mother of Jesus, must have been frightened, to say the least.
Click here to read my Christmas Eve column about looking for Mary on the streets of Memphis, and remember, again, to count the blessings in your life.
For me, this work, and my writing both in the paper and on this blog, have been more of a blessing than I ever could have realized. Thank you so much for reading and responding.
Merry Christmas!

I tried to think of ways to compliment this article and no words are big enough so I’ll just say Thank you for telling such a story of encouragement.

Thank you for an article which called my attention to a fine program. I’d like to thank you for all your work, and Wendi for her guest spots as well, particularly the ones highlighting people who do good for others and showcasing the young people who are the future of Memphis. Merry Christmas, y’all. I better get back to wrapping before my husband accuses me of slacking!
